How are your prices calculated?

1. Order Quantity & Volume

• Small-batch orders (150–500 pieces): Designed for startups, trials, or limited runs, these orders have a slightly higher unit cost due to setup fees, material minimums, and production overhead.
• Mid-volume orders (500–2,000 pieces): These orders qualify for reduced unit pricing, as we can optimize production efficiency, spread setup costs across more units, and negotiate better rates with material suppliers.
• Large-scale bulk orders (2,000+ pieces): These orders receive the most competitive pricing, with significant unit cost reductions, as we maximize production line efficiency and minimize per-unit overhead.

2. Design & Customization Complexity

• Simple designs (e.g., basic leggings, tank tops, or standard tennis skirts with minimal customization): These require fewer production steps, resulting in lower labor costs.
• Moderate complexity (e.g., styles with contrast stitching, built-in features like shorts in tennis skirts, or standard logo printing): These add extra steps to the production process, increasing labor and material costs slightly.
• High complexity (e.g., custom prints, intricate patterns, specialized compression panels, or fully custom OEM designs with unique hardware or finishes): These require specialized labor, additional production time, and sometimes custom tooling, leading to higher unit costs.

3. Fabric & Material Selection

• Standard fabrics: Basic polyester-spandex blends, cotton blends, and other common materials are the most cost-effective options.
• Performance fabrics: Moisture-wicking, UV-protective, or quick-drying textiles cost more due to their specialized properties and higher production standards.
• Premium & sustainable fabrics: GRS-certified recycled materials, organic cotton, and high-end seamless knits carry a premium price due to their quality, sustainability certifications, and limited availability.
• Custom materials: Specialty fabrics, custom-dyed textiles, or materials with unique finishes (e.g., water-repellent or anti-odor treatments) may have higher costs due to minimum purchase requirements and processing fees.

4. Branding & Finishing Details

• Logo application: Heat transfer printing is the most cost-effective option, while embroidery, silicone printing, or woven labels have higher costs due to specialized equipment and labor.
• Labels & tags: Custom care labels, size labels, hang tags, and swing tags add small per-unit costs, with prices varying based on complexity and materials.
• Packaging: Standard poly bags are included in basic pricing, while custom boxes, tissue paper, or branded inserts incur additional costs based on materials and printing requirements.

5. Additional Services & Lead Times

• Expedited production: If you need your order completed in a shorter timeframe, expedited production fees may apply to cover overtime labor and prioritized scheduling.
• Special quality control: Enhanced inspection processes, third-party testing, or compliance certifications (e.g., OEKO-TEX, ISO) add costs to ensure your products meet specific standards.
• Warehousing & fulfillment: If you require warehousing, drop-shipping, or bulk fulfillment services, these will be quoted as additional fees based on your specific needs.
